Our friendly neighbourhood bishounen already got enough stress by covering sh*t from this season and my conscience told me to get one rotten flower from the beautiful bouquet by random sampling. It turned out that the flower I got wasn’t a rotten but rather a Plumeria acuminata lost in a bouquet that’s aimed for a [...]

First Impressions: Nazo no Kanojo X
09/04/2012 – 15:30
Here’s one weirdness that totally works out in putting a good first impression to the audience. The weirdness painted by the atmosphere totally jives with the chemistry between comedy and mystery. We also have unique character sets too. This is also not your typical romantic-comedy anime, which is why its definitely tolerable for me to [...]
First Impressions: Acchi Kocchi
08/04/2012 – 12:26
It’s a story about … well … I don’t really know. It’s about love that is so obvious that they are blinded by the obvious fact. I’ll classify this as a romantic-comedy sitcom ( I’m still unsure on the romantic part), but we already have Polar Bear Cafe this season. This one is nowhere near [...]
First Impressions: Summer Coloured Miracles
08/04/2012 – 12:21
I asked either meganekkofan or Anton if he can do a review of this, but he seems to curse this series for some reason… Oh well, I’m stuck doing a First Impression of it then… Summer Coloured Miracles is about a group of middle-school kids who aspires to be idols. Being an all female cast [...]
First Impressions: Sengoku Collections
08/04/2012 – 12:05
Short Synopsis: Lead character collects Sengoku Era Figures for his Harem. Well, were not yet there. But eventually they will be. Sengoku Collection is “THAT” anime that features characters from the famous part of history in Japanese history. This time we get moefied warlords. The twist this time is of having them fallen into the current [...]
First Impressions: Hiiro no Kakera
08/04/2012 – 12:00
Short Synopsis: Lead female character gets a bishounen brigade. If this series pampers a lot of advertising to its audience, there can be two things: It is the best series this season and it should be spread like a gospel. It is the most mediocre series made and it begs fans to watch it. It’s the latter. [...]
First Impressions: Accel World
08/04/2012 – 10:30
I recall comparing it with Guilty Crown and Madoka Magica due to it’s premise and visual presentation. It turned out that I was partially correct in making that deduction. So far, it’s the most unique well-animated, and -written shounen series I’ve seen in recent times. Due to the “game world” sci-fi setting, comparison with .//hack [...]
First Impressions: Sankarea
08/04/2012 – 8:30
Sankarea is as weird as the main character. It feels impressive and mediocre at the same time. This series is one of the ‘unique’ romantic-comedies of this season, aside from Tasogare Otome X Amnesia. Still, this one deserves the five-episode probation with the cliché flags I’ve detected on the first episode. Good thing it’s not [...]
First Impressions: Medaka Box
07/04/2012 – 12:22
Does he look like Kamina to you? Short Synopsis: Medaka box is about an omnipotent tsundere with a childhood complex. I think we are on to something here. Medaka box from the promo art, seems to be a harem in the making but it seems more of a sexy version of Sket Dance ran by [...]
First Impressions: Lupin III – About that Fujiko Mine Woman
07/04/2012 – 12:13
Quite interesting we have here. I had my fare share of Lupin Franchise, but I never saw Lupin taken seriously. That whole cat and mouse chase I grew up, turned into this version of James Bond, thief vs thief is surprising, and the art is left to be bewildered. This Franchise has been going on [...]
